The Cheonmasan Army (Korean: 천마산대) was an organization that carried out guerrilla warfare among domestically-based armed struggle groups from the March 1st Movement until the 1924s. The army was led by General Choi Si-heung and his younger brother Choi Si-chan. It is also called Cheonmadae, a name given to it because its base is located on Mt. Chŏnma (Chonma-san) in Goryeongsak-myeon, Uiju-gun, North Pyongan Province. It was also called Cheonmabyeolyeong and Cheolmabyeolyeong.[1][2] Until the early 1920s, after the March 1st Movement, the Cheonmasan Army was seen as the most revolutionary guerrilla organization based in Korea.[3]
